Samantha Walker off the Pitch
Full Name: Samantha Marie Walker
Nickname(s): Bubba
I Chose Cal because...I have always been a Cal fan since I was born and I love their traditions.
Favorite thing about Bay Area is...how you are never bored, there is always something going on.
Most interesting thing I did this summer was...go to Tahoe with my family.
When I'm upset, I like to...get my mind off it by running or talking to someone.
I get mad when I miss this TV show: "House"
The best moment in sports history was when...Brandi Chastain scored the winning penalty kick in the 1999 World Cup.
Cal is better than other schools because...the tradition here. It is a great academic and athletic school, you can not get any better!
Something I learned from my parents is...to never give up no matter how hard times get.
Do you have any hidden talents? I can make my tongue into a clover
What is one thing about your hometown that you miss? The tranquility
